I think that this is a bootable installation disc. If you install from it, your
system will have K

You can add CDROMs from within Synaptic - no need for the command line:

Yes, it's run at the command line - you need to run it as root, so you should
either su to root or use sudo and do
$ sudo apt-cdrom add
It should then prompt you to pu

Before you install, be sure and write down i/o port addresses, IRQ
values, NIC types, disk geometry, PnP values and any other hardware
information you can think of.
Unless you have an oddball NIC, the drivers should be in the
drivers.tgz file. I used the boot floppy method (6 floppies) to do a

Welcome.
During the instalation process you will be asked what are the modules you
want to install, you just have to choose the correct ethernet drive
I'm _pretty_ confident that the files you downloaded include enough to get
the apropos drivers working.
By the way, getting to the point where you burn your own boot CD is nice
(today I am going to loan it to a friend)

Debian develops very fast. Maybe try an other disk-image or an other
floppy disk. Floppy-disk are not very reliable.

several weeks to get a Linux partition up that will boot when the IBM
boot manager is used to select the linux partition, but with Debian, I
get the same result you report.
